New Balance take over from Nike this summer as Celtic’s official kit partner and main sponsor. The US sportswear firm have along heritage in technical products, like running shoes, with less of a legacy in the leisurewear market than the likes of Nike, but this move, as well as a recent deal to partner Liverpool, indicates a strong commitment to become a major player in the football marketplace.
Both the Celtic and Liverpool contracts have been advertised as potentially record deals for the respective clubs, although each club declined to put a figure on the value, or the contract period in their official statements. It’s likely that a significant part of the contract fee will depend on Champions League qualification.
Unconfirmed reports put the size of the deal at £29m, cash that other clubs have securitised off to a retailer.
Last call today for CQN11 St Patrick’s Dinner, which takes place next Friday, 13 March, at the Kerrydale Suite. After the dinner we have a Q&A with Packy Bonnar, Tommy Coyne, Joe Miller and Tom Boyd. We have Archie Macpherson speaking about Jock Stein on the 50th anniversary of him becoming manager, and song from Patricia Ferns.
The object of the night is to raise money to build another school kitchen for Mary’s Meals in Malawi. Kris Commons’ partner, Lisa Hague, will also join us. She will be auctioning an incredible prize of a signed Ronny Deila jersey, signed Kris Commons boots and match hospitality in the Players’ Lounge for the Marie Curie Hospice in Glasgow.
Tickets will be posted out over the next few days, email me if you’re still looking, celticquicknews@gmail.com we’re closing the book tomorrow.

Tom Mclaughlin – if there is one “western” country that is institutionally racist, it is Australia.
Bloody convicts. Men At Work were crap too. (thumbsup)
Crap things from Australia:
1. Fosters lager
2. Adverts for Fosters lager
3. Rolf Harris.
Hamiltontim – anti-Irish racism is so last century.
These days it’s all about them feckin’ South Lanarkshireites. (thumbsup)

Would Rolf “Have you guessed what it is yet?” Harris have been on that list five years ago?
Hamiltontim, you don’t need to convince me on that. Some others on here seem to disagree though.

In fairness to Australians, they have redeemed themselves somewhat with wee Kylie.

Would give George Square a wide berth tonight. The zombies may be celebrating, like they did at the Independence referendum.
Glendalystonsils –
1) Agreed. It’s kangaroo urine.
2) Agreed. Blokey wallopers.
3) I’m so glad I never joined Rolf’s Cartoon Club.
Also…
4) Priscilla, Queen of the Desert – those women were rough looking.
5) Nicole Kidman
6) Boomerangs
(thumbsup)
Uch Tom growing up is overrated.
But I guess part of it is facing some unpalatable truths. I simply think you are avoiding them (for whatever reason). The Church of Scotland did indeed, eventually apologise. But it would be helpful if you could point out where the Scottish Parliament have tackled this issue. Must have passed me by :). I thought they were too busy criminalising aspects of Catholicism to tackle their racist issues?
Timmy7 noted how witty.
Not forgetting the wonderfully tuneful didgeredoo….

Very good advice, and tomorrow night too.
Timmy7 sorry I meant to say, was the irony of telling me to go to England and a debate on racism lost on you?
Morn all!!
Whats with the Aussie theme this fine day??
I’ll be in St Andrew Square in Edinburgh tonight.
Should be OK, eh?

Stairheedrammy –
Nobody, least of all me, has denied that anti-Irish racism exists in Scotland. In fact I clearly said it does in my comment.
What I do deny is that Scotland is institutionally racist.

Big Virgil will get found out in the EPL if he goes there.
His record of performances for us in Europe against teams not as good as EPL has been, imo, no vey guid.
But if he wants away and we get an acceptable offer, get him to fec*.

It’s a Often Forgotten FACT That more than 50% of Famous Australians are Kiwi’s…

How long does this list have to be before Germaine Greer gets a mention?
Bhoylo83. What about a level playing field? H.H.
Agent Green
That last bit?…………does that include wee Kylie………..?
Just wondering………
Ernie
I think she comes after Sons and Daughters, but before Mark Viduka’s agent.
Australia used to be a country for thick, armed, tough, muscular people. Including the men.
What happened?
Me and the wife were watching Masterchef Australia recently. It’s full of effete, limp-wristed hipsters in fashionable wool caps and fussy little goatees, crying about cooking.
Cooking! Something women and the French do.
Mel Gibson needs to go back to Oz to donate testosterone. (thumbsup)
